00:00Along with the return of BRP Teresa Magbanua to Palawan,

00:04the story of how their vehicles endured,

00:07including the three weeks of drinking water from the aircon,

00:11and eating only porridge because of running out of supplies,

00:14Joseph Moro was on the scene.

00:19On the return of BRP Teresa Magbanua to Palawan yesterday,

00:23after five months of guarding Skoda Shoal,

00:26the commanding officer of the ship,

00:29Lt. Cmdr. Efren Duran, Jr., asked for forgiveness.

00:32We ask for forgiveness, sir.

00:34I need to return the ship, sir.

00:36For the sake of our people.

00:38According to Philippine Coast Guard Cmdr. Admiral Ronnie Hill-Gaban,

00:41The decision for you to reposition yourself

00:45was to ensure that we are able to sustain

00:50our ability to secure this part of the country

00:56for the long haul.

00:57You have accomplished your mission.

00:59The journey of BRP Teresa Magbanua's more than 60 vehicles

01:03was not a joke

01:04to guard the reclamation of China

01:06in the Exclusive Economic Zone of the Philippines.

01:09On August 19,

01:10their food supply began to be critical.

01:14The expected resupply was not satisfied

01:16with the food supply of the ships of China,

01:18the two ships of the Philippine Coast Guard.

01:21They were only able to carry 1.5 kilos of rice

01:25for the 63 vehicles of the ship.

01:28They made this porridge

01:30within almost 3 weeks.

01:32It's just rice porridge, sir.

01:34Just pepper?

01:35Yes, sir.

01:36Pepper and salt, sir,

01:38since that's the only thing we were left with.

01:40We have friends who get dizzy

01:43because they are hungry,

01:44and their stomachs get upset at night.

01:46What do you do when that happens?

01:47Nothing, sir.

01:48We just sleep and rest, sir.

01:50They also ran out of drinking water.

01:52Aside from the seawater

01:53that is pumped by the freshwater generator,

01:56they also drink water from the rain and air-conditioning units.

02:00Whenever it rains,

02:01the residents of Magbanua go out

02:03to collect the rain

02:05that they will use as drinking water.

02:07Our chief engineer discovered

02:09that we can drink the water

02:11from our air-conditioning units, sir,

02:13the condensed water.

02:15We prefer the air-conditioning units, sir.

02:18Why?

02:19And the rain, sir.

02:21Compared to the filter?

02:23Yes, sir, because it really has a taste, sir.

02:26Sometimes, it tastes like a swimming pool,

02:29and it's salty.

02:30The supply of August 28th was able to air-drop,

02:33but it wasn't enough.

02:35Some of the residents of Magbanua got sick.

02:38Four of them were quickly transported

02:39due to gastroenteritis, dehydration, and gout.

02:42One of them lost his pulse.

02:45They are all recovering from the ship.

02:47We are worried, sir,

02:49because we are far from the land, sir.

02:52We don't know what the real disease is.

02:59If we stay there longer,

03:00maybe more people will get sick.

03:03Yes.

03:04Because we are exposed to unhealthy water.

03:08There is vinegar.

03:09Yes.

03:10Vinegar.

03:11Their bowel movements are really different.

03:15The situation of the Chinese Coast Guard

03:17in Magbanua was also affected on August 31st.

03:21This area near the engine room is empty.

03:25This is the damage that BRP Teresa Magbanua

03:29caused when the Chinese Coast Guard

03:31bombed our ship on August 31st.

03:33It's in this engine room.

03:35The explanation to us is,

03:36it's dangerous if this will hit

03:39or this will cause damage to the ship.

03:42If the cooling system is gone,

03:43our engine won't be able to run.

03:46If this is the cause, sir?

03:48Dead on the water.

03:49They have a reason to salvage us.

03:53Because we are dead on the water.

03:55They can pull us.

03:58But if the group is ready to return to Escoda Shoal,

04:02it's clear to them that the mission

04:05is not just theirs,

04:06it's for the Philippines.

04:08As Pinoy users,

04:10we can do it.

04:12Why?

04:13It's not just for the Philippines.

04:17It's for the whole world.

04:20We are implementing international law.
